Cooking Thursday

I have a new recipe for you that has a funny story.  I had seen this recipe and saved the site.  When I went to make it, I took my laptop into the kitchen and set it on the counter to work from.
As I was adding ingredients, I thought I hadn't read it well the first time, as some things didn't seem familiar.  Then I realized that I must have bumped the laptop and sent it to another recipe!
So, we ended up with a recipe that was a combo of two recipes.  It was tasty, so next time, I'll do it the same way!

Crock Pot Cheesy Pasta and Beef

1 pound ground beef, browned and drain
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
16 ounces tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
1/3 cup red wine or beef broth
16 ounces penne pasta
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Place all ingredients except pasta and cheese into crock pot.  Cook on low for 6 hours.
Cook pasta as directed on package. Stir into beef mixture and cover with cheese.  Enjoy!
